Publisher's Synopsis
"First came the fever, then swollen ankles, and then the pain! I was five..."
In this compelling memoir, Gail takes you on a deeply personal journey through her life's challenges and triumphs, living with Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis for over 50 years.
With raw honesty and heartfelt reflection, she shares stories of relationships, multiple surgeries, education, and career difficulties, as well as the gift of motherhood.
Written to show that there is life beyond pain, Gail details her medication and treatment regimes, along with a moment of unimaginable trauma when, at the age of seven, she cheated death. Yet, despite everything, "Move That Pain" is filled with laughter and promotes resilience, joy, and empowerment in the face of adversity.
Now 56, Gail's passion is to share her knowledge with the aim of helping others living with the disease or other forms of inflammatory arthritis.
